| Among the many wonders of nylon is that it can be fabricated in almost level of sheerness. Originally created as a substitute for silk, nylon is soft and supple, with excellent flexibility and tensile strength for use in pantyhose. Sheer nylon hosiery creates a sleek, polished look. Sheer nylons are available in many styles, including control top, patterned pantyhose, matte finish nylons and knee-high trouser socks. Sheerness is designated by denier, which measures the thickness of the nylon fiber. With measurements running from 8-100, the lower the denier, the sheerer the fabric. Because nylon has such great durability and stretch, hosiery made of nylon can have a very low denier, often designated as ultra-sheer. |
